The Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young did not make it to the NBA playoffs this season, but it did not stop the New York Knicks fans from recreating a moment from the past. The Knicks fans did a famous chant from a few years ago aimed at the Atlanta Hawks star.
The Knicks haven’t played the Hawks in a playoff series since their last matchup in 2021. The Hawks decimated the Knicks that season. They won five games to send the New Yorkers back home; Trae Young was the star of the playoffs series.

Since then, a popular chant has developed among the Knicks fans, dishonoring the Hawks star. After the Knicks beat the 76ers at Madison Square Garden, “F**k Trae Young!” chants started to reverberate outside the arena. Obviously, the Hawks star had nothing to do with the game between the Knicks and the Sixers.
The fans chanted in unison as they tried to have some fun by bringing out their old memories. However, this shows that some Knicks fans are still not over their crushing defeat from a few years ago.
